Cynthia Spencer Hospice provides specialist palliative care for people diagnosed with life-limiting and terminal illnesses and their families at the Hospice in Northampton and across Northamptonshire through our Clincal Nurse Specialist and Hospice at Home Community Care Teams. The Hospice is also home to a county-wide Lymphoedema service and a day-care Wellbeing Service. Care at the Hospice focuses on helping patients to enjoy the best quality of life possible - controlling their pain and other symptoms; offering emotional and practical support; providing suitable treatments and therapies and, when the time comes providing the best care to ensure a comfortable and dignified death. All our Hospice services are offered free of charge, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and although part-funded by the NHS we rely on our local community to raise one third of every £1 we spend on care.
